The Manassas and Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee will hold Assembled Caucuses on Monday, April 18, 2016 at 7:30 pm to elect local presidential elector delegates to the 10th Congressional District Democratic Convention and the Virginia Democratic State Convention .  Our local caucus will be held at the Manassas Park Police Station, 329 Manassas Dr, Manassas Park, VA 20111 .

At our local caucuses, 9 state delegates and 2 alternates from the City of Manassas and 3 state delegates and 1 alternate from the City of Manassas Park will be elected by those Democrats in attendance from the respective city.   Every candidate for election as a delegate or alternate must be pledged to either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders and prefile with MMPCDC for election by April 11 at 5:00 pm.  The numbers of elected slots available for delegates and alternates pledged to each presidential candidate will be allocated according to the results of the March 1 Presidential Primary, and each caucus voter will be limited to either the Clinton or Sanders delegate and alternate ballots for their city.  If none of those ballots list more candidates than the number of allocated slots, the local caucuses will be cancelled six days in advance.

The state delegates elected at our local caucuses will later attend the 10th Congressional District Democratic Convention on May 14 and the Virginia Democratic State Convention on June 18.  Both conventions will elect national delegates from Virginia to the Democratic National Convention.
